Wow last time I see us at Stamford Bridge we beat them 3-2 in the same division.. Harrods close by got bombed by the IRA   you could see the smoke behind the shed it was a cold rainy December day.

Only a small number of us were there but we were told to quickly make our way back to the coach parked behind the old chelsea shed (gulp)  

The one and ONLY good thing about the bombing was it took attention off us as some knobsacks were theatenig to do us.

Luckily most Chelsea fans vacated the stands despite the anouncement being made to stay in the ground due to Christmas shoppers
Harrods was packed.

Got to beat Macclesfield first though.

If this doesn’t  motivate the players for the replay I don’t know what will


Both teams, not just town. Should make the replay a) a cracker or b) rubbish, both terrified of losing. Lets hope for a cracker

You're quite right.one win in 11 and that was 13 years ago ain't going to change my view


*14 years 😆

I'm not particularly confident because of this record either. Ridiculous really - drawing 1-1 with them in 2006 has absolutely no bearing on a League Cup game in 2019!

We took around 4k to that game with some Town housed behind the goal in The Shed whilst it was being redeveloped think the crowd was 28k


Sheffield Wednesday received a touch shy of 6k for their FA Cup tie in January, which looks to be the Shed End in its entirety (accounting for segregation). May be a big ask for a mid-week game in London but would be great if we could sell that out (assuming, of course, we get there).

Sadly it might have an effect on the Macclesfield players too, in fact an away game at Chelsea might ensure they get paid next month!

Potentially this is a superb tie.  Potentially.

Macc looked very tidy in the first half on Tuesday night.

I may be wrong but think away fans are now at the opposite end of the ground to the old shed end?

I was there when we beat Chelsea 3-2 at Stamford Bridge in 1983.  Somehow we ended up surrounded by Chelsea fans who were quite patronising at first (I think they went 2-0 up) then the mood gradually changed as we came back into the game and it was positively hostile at the end - which of course made the experience all the more enjoyable.  I think Paul Emson scored the winner?

I've been to Stamford Bridge recently and without doubt it's the most unpleasant atmosphere at any of the 50+ grounds I've been too.  I recall a linesman getting abuse because he gave a 50/50 throw-in against Chelsea in the first 5'.

There's now a good case to play our best XL v Macclesfield.  Also looks like Matt Proctor may play in this game, talk about it being a shop window ...

You have no understanding of our ways support , I’d be surprised to see less than 5000 town fans there for a midweek game
